There are three types of milk stasis in postpartum women: some have abundant Qi and Blood but suffer from stagnation and blockage preventing flow; others have deficient Blood and weak Qi leading to sluggish non-flow. Deficiency patterns require tonification; excess patterns require unblocking. For excess patterns, use herbs such as Tongcao (Medulla Tetrapanacis), Loulu (Radix Radicis Euphorbiae), and Tugua Gen (Radix Trichosanthis); for deficiency patterns, use refined Zhongru Fen (Calcareous Concretion), Zhu Ti (Corpus Porcinum), and Ji Yu (Cyprinus Carpio), which illustrates the general principle.
